Recommencement of Works to the Dinant Link Road Roundabout   

Following further consultation with Hertfordshire County Council, road works will recommence on Tuesday 26th May, in preparation for re-surfacing to be undertaken.

The works consist of minor amendments to some of the kerblines. To maintain the integrity of the carriageway it is necessary to provide a new surface course which can only be safely undertaken using a road closure, as detailed below.

-Full closure of the eastbound carriageway only on Saturday 6^th June and Sunday 7^th June

-Full closure of the westbound carriageway only on Saturday 13^th and Sunday 14^th June

As before, temporary traffic management will be in place from Tuesday 26^th May.

Hertfordshire County Council will determine the period of the closure and will notify the public in the usual way.

On both weekends with the closures, the works to repair and relay the surface will take place during the day and one carriageway will remain open. On Sunday evening the traffic management will be removed and the road will be fully open by early Monday morning.

We thank the community for their patience and understanding and will endeavour to complete the works as swiftly as possible.

– Closure of the westbound carriageway only on Saturday 25^th and Sunday 26th April.
